The children acquire basic musical skills in rhythm and pitch through singing, listening, playing percussion instruments, moving to music and musical games.

[H1] Activities
We provide a lot of open-ended play equipment for the children to explore and investigate. The children themselves determine what to do, how to do it and what to use. Their play is unrestricted and there is no fear of doing it ‘wrong’ since there is no ‘correct’ method or outcome.
We encourage risk-taking during playtime.
It allows the children to learn about the world around them whilst making their own decisions about their own safety. Risky play supports children in testing their limits, exploring their boundaries and keeping themselves safe.
We have outlined a few of our more specific activities that the children can participate in throughout their week.
